Catchment area

Official primary catchment published by Sheffield City Council (Open Government Licence, 2024-01-26). Source

The boundary is shown on the map on this page. Check the council's current admissions arrangements, as boundaries can change.

Last distance offered

Not published nationally. Many councils publish the furthest distance offered for each school in their annual allocation reports. Past distances vary year to year with demand and sibling numbers, so they are not a guarantee.

How places are allocated: you apply through your home council. When a school has more applicants than places, it applies its published oversubscription criteria in order. These usually start with looked-after children, then siblings, then catchment or distance; faith schools may prioritise church attendance. Children with an EHC plan naming the school are admitted first. Apply on GOV.UK
